Who sees the true world? Perception and reality

u/gnmf I still don't get a notice when you comment btw, I check your commentpage to see it now :o

Happened to me to. Maybe his latent superpowers are blocking us (Sorry bad joke ;p)

I like that, first time I've heard it. I have a tattoo of a tiger. Got it when I was 18 at a scratcher a friend of a friend knew.

Any specific reason you wanted a tiger?

I do not know how it would help attention, if it didn't work like giving you some respite from the world so you could spend your attention on important things. Maybe it works differently in different people.

Well, I can hold my focus/attention a lot longer. It has to do with the cocoon example we talked about earlier. Add felt to me like I needed to keep moving for some reason, I think it was mostly just caused by a certain form of distress and trauma. Take that away and you have yourself a fix. It also helps in creating a one pointed mind, you're training your mind to stay focused on one thing at a time for longer periods of time. After a while this practice picks up and it becomes easy to do so. When it does, the mind feels a lot less distracted. (Concentrating can be quite easy now if I compare it to say 5 or 6 years ago)
